Mike Addams has been on the radio in Boston since the days when the Bay City Rollers were on the cover of Tiger Beat magazine. Do not confuse him with anyone else on the radio who has a similar name. He was on WRKO back when it was a Top 40 station, plus WHDH, WZOU, WODS and MAGIC sister station Country 96.9 WBCS. His longest gig is the current one: for the past fourteen years Mike has hosted MORNING MAGIC. It's the #1 music morning show in Boston.

Mike's warm, friendly manner is especially appealing to our primarily female target audience. He's joined each morning by News Director Gay Vernon, who gets you up to speed for the day with concise news, traffic and weather. Co-host/Producer Amanda Giles thinks up the trivia contests, manages the MORNING MAGIC POLL, brings the young-woman-about-town perspective to the show. makes sure Mike pushes all the right buttons and plays the most music in the morning.

Last week while Texan Vince Hunter was on vacation in Connecticut, he was able to see his Dallas house being broken into from 1,500 miles away via an iPhone application called iCam. Hunter's home security webcams showed him in real time as two burglars broke the windows of his home and rifled through his backyard. Hunter phoned the cops, but the thieves had already been deterred by their alarm system. Unfortunately, they'd already robbed Hunter's next-door neighbor. So, if you are going away for Labor Day weekend and leaving an empty house, maybe it's worth downloading this handy app to your mobile phone. For a grand total of five bucks, you can watch live video footage from anywhere in the world. Or, if you are willing to spend a bit more, you can get a WiFi security camera in your home ...
